If I want to cut carbs a little on some days but having less Huel, but still get in some extra calories and protein, what would be a good protein powder to have alongside Huel?
I’d like to keep it vegan so I guess it would have to be some kind or vegan protein powder.
There are lots of types, hemp, pea, etc.
Does anyone know of one that has similar ingredients to Huel as I’d rather not add anything extra to my Huel diet, like sugars, etc?
Thanks!

So since Huel uses brown rice protein and pea protein already, it’d probably just be easiest to go with one of those. Composition of Huel stays the same, you’re just adjusting the ratios (and potentially the taste a little bit). I know pea protein is readily available on Amazon in it’s pure form, so I’d go with that.

Thanks, will have a look for some pea and rice protein then.
I’d probably have it own its own after a workout, rather than adding it to a Huel, although that is a good idea.
Cheers.

Does anyone use hemp protein powder - either with Huel or on its own?
I’m keen to get some to have in non-Huel shakes - I’m currently off Huel at the moment.
I hear it has good amounts of EFA and things like that. However, there are some big price discrepencies between the brands
Can anyone recommend a good brand that still has all the nutrients in please? Or am I ok with a generic brand from a big online supplement store?
Cheers!

Just to get something in, I stay away from pea and rice that’s in Huel already.
I get Undenatured Whey Protein Isolate. Minimal extras, natural and high protein content.

I’ve always added chia seed to porridge in the past. I believe those little seeds are packed with protein & healthy fats

Yes Chia seeds are 17% protein apparently.
I have them in smoothies but hadn’t thought of adding them to Huel.

I’ll add that I’ve had pea and hemp protein in the past, and they aren’t a nice flavour and can be strong, so be prepared to mix them with something to hide the taste.
I was adding pea to fruit juice and it still didn’t do a great job of hiding the flavour!
I can’t remember the brand I used. I think I went on Amazon and looked up the best selling ones or those with best reviews.

I see they do a vanilla one too, would double vanilla be too much? 😉

Any update on this?
Still did not find the right powder.
protein, what would be a good protein powder to have alongside Huel?
I’d like to keep it vegan so I guess it would have to be some kind or vegan protein powder.
With the following.
- pea protein
- brown rice

I tend to use the PhD whey proteins to add flavour to Huel. To my taste they work well with UU, OV and vanilla.
